Due to substantial or high transmission of Covid 19, Nevada Emergency Directive 045 goes into effect starting Friday, July 30, and will be for seven of the twelve counties comprising the Diocese of Reno:  Carson, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Lyon, Mineral, and Washoe.
 
The directive requires all persons, vaccinated or unvaccinated, to wear masks at public indoor gatherings.
 
The new diocesan protocol, therefore, is that all persons, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, wear masks when participating at indoor Masses and other liturgies and all indoor gatherings.  This protocol applies to the seven counties identified by the state.
 
I know we are all tired of these restrictions, but the key to stopping the spread of Covid 19 is within our reach: vaccination.  We encourage parishioners who are not vaccinated to do so.  Concern for one another’s health and safety comes from Christ’s command to love one another.
 
Thank you.
 

Due to a rise in positive COVID cases in our area, we have decided to take precautionary measures and celebrate daily masses in the main church rather than the chapel.  This will allow for social distancing.  Daily Mass in the main church will begin on Friday, September 10th. 

  Please remember the weekend mass will be streamed through our YouTube channel by Sunday at 7 AM.  You are able to access that mass through this website by clicking on the Mass Videos button above.

THE OFFICE IS OPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 9 AM UNTIL 5 PM.

IF YOU HAVE A NAME THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN OUR MASS INTENTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL THE CHURCH AT: stteresa@stteresaofavila.net
AND PUT UNDER THE TOPIC: MASS INTENTION.  Thanks.

"Dear brothers and dear sisters, our lives are very often not what we imagine them to be. Especially in loving and affectionate relationships, it is difficult to move from the logic of falling in love to the logic of a mature love… You newlyweds, think about this. The first phase is always marked by a certain enchantment that makes us live immersed in the imaginary that is often not based on reality and facts – the falling in love phase. But precisely when falling in love with its expectations seems to come to an end, that is where true love begins or true love enters in there. In fact, to love is not the pretension that the other person, or life, should correspond to our imagination. Rather, it means to choose in full freedom to take responsibility for one’s life as it comes… This movement from falling in love to mature love is a demanding choice, but we must choose that path."

Pope Francis
